   Interesting. I had never heard of either until about 20-25 years ago, if   
   that long. I still don't know what they stand for and am too lazy to   
   look it up. FM radio here only seems to play music, so it does not   
   attract me at all, but I'm told a Big Change is coming, which presumably   
   means the stations I do listen to will migrate.
